Iraq Big Joke to W. link

So Iraq is a big joke to President Bush. The frat-boy president thinks that not finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, at the cost of a nation ruined and tens of thousands killed, is a towel-snapping hoot.

In perhaps the most tasteless display ever put on by a president, Bush made a funny out of Iraq at last night's Radio-TV Correspondents Association dinner. (No, I didn't go to that event. I haven't ever been to one of those yuck-yuck insider sessions ever, and I wouldn't go if I were invited, unless it were to investigate the participants.)

Anyway, here is the account of Bush's supposedly hilarious appearance before the tuxedo-clad elite, from The Washington Post this morning:

      He [Bush] put up dorky looking pictures of himself. A recurring joke  
       involved photos of the president in awkward positions-bent over as  
       if he's looking under a table, leaning to look out a window-accompanied  
       by remarks such as "Those weapons of mass destruction must be somewhere!"  
       and "Nope, no weapons over there!" and "Maybe under here?" 

That's funny? I wish the tape of the president cackling about his lies over Iraq could be broadcast on Iraqi TV. And maybe shown to the families of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq.
